Els Escacs Vivents (Ajedrez Viviente)
Avinguda Lepanto, Duanes de la Mar, 03730 Xàbia
24 jul. - 25 jul.
🇬🇧 One night at the end of July, 32 children from Xàbia become the pieces of a chess game on a ten by ten metre board laid out on the Avinguda Lepanto, surrounded by stands for around a thousand people. A narrator and two players read out the moves of a famous historic game, and around that game a play is performed: a different story every year, with costumes, music and lighting. This is the town's only Fiesta de Interés Turístico Nacional, a title it has held since 2002.
